Verloren auf Borneo (2012)

Julia zu Hohenberg travels to Borneo to surprise her husband, who goes about his business here. Felix does not like the presence of his wife because she is now accompanying him on a tour of a delicate investment project. Alexander Kuhl, a dropout who works as a driver in Borneo, is supposed to drive the two to a palm oil plantation deep in the jungle. While resting in a poor jungle village, Julia discovers a caged baby orangutan, for which she spontaneously swaps her earrings. Felix has no sympathy for this sentimentality, and a long-standing argument breaks out. While Felix attends his business appointment alone, Julia wants to take the baby monkey to the nearest zoo together with Alex. On the way, the two come across an illegally cleared area of primeval forest and are shot at by armed workers. Alex flees deep into the wilderness with Julia, where idealistic veterinarian Dr. Ochsenmeier runs an orangutan station. Julia learns from him that the local mafia is destroying the habitat of the monkeys by cutting down the rainforest. The head of the gang is Sapto Setiawan, with whom her husband does business. Meanwhile, Alex has fallen in love with Julia and tries to dissuade her from taking action against the dangerous gangster. But Julia is determined to do anything.
